Bug Description
I have a minimalist Makefile that downloads Linaro GCC and builds it. It's an example so that others can see what's involved in building GCC.
The version to download is currently hard-coded into the script. It would be nice to have a way of detecting and fetching the latest release in a series and downloading that tarball.
Something like:
wget https:/
that, through redirects, ends up downloading gcc-linaro-
I'd rather not use uwatch as it's another tool that people would have to install

- Add a link to the latest download for use from a script + There is no stable link to the 'lastest release' for a project usable by + wget/curl etc |
